gihv Read inc? 



There are many and manifold books, of all 
classes and kinds of literature, published about 
the World's Fair by the most competent writ- 
ers, but all tell most beautifully and elaborately 
of the wonders and beauties to be seen there, 
while they do not give the information needed 
by the man of limited means, who wants to 
know how to get there for the least money, and 
where he can find respectable accommodations 
for self and wife, or family, at such reasonable 
costs as to come within the scope of his finances. 
The object of this bit of free literature will 
be to give just such information to that class 
of our people, so that before leaving home they 
can sit down and discuss the feasibility of the 
trip with the family, and then and there figure 
the cost so approximately as to 'know just about 
what the expense of the trip and a stay of two 
weeks or a month will be. Being able to do this 
will satisfy many, who shrink from the ex- 
pense, that they are able to take advantage of 
this great school of world-wide information for 
themselves and families. 

This little book proposes not only to do this, 
but to make itself a pocket manual or handbook 
of all matters and information useful to a vis- 
itor not familiar with St. Louis and surround- 
ings. 

The Exposition opens April 30th and closes 
December 1st, 1004.

As the card or folder of the railroad system 
on which you live will be the best guide as to 
how to go anywhere, it is scarcely necessary to 
tell a man how to reach a place like St. Louis. 
What one needs to know is, what traffic ar- 
rangements have been made by the World's 
Fair Administration, through the various rail- 
way systems, to reduce the railroad fares to St. 
Louis to such an extent as to enable those at a 
distance to attend the Fair at anything like a 
reasonable cost. 

In order to do this, the Administration has 
appealed to the Passenger Agents' Associations 
of the North, South, East and West, for rates 
that would induce travel to St. Louis and at- 
tendance at the Fair, instead of putting the 
rates so high as to make travel prohibitory in- 
stead of being within the reach of those of lim- 
ited means. 

We are glad to announce that their efforts 
have been successful to such an extent that, the 
World's Fair becomes the Poor Man's Show as 
well as the Rich Man's Recreation. 

The Passenger Agents' Associations of the va- 
rious railroads leading to St. Louis, and all 
railroads lead to St. Louis in 1904, have agreed 
upon and published the following schedule of 
rates, so that any man can figure his railroad 
expenses in counting the cost of a trip to St. 
Louis without even having to consult his local 
railroad agent:

Now, for instance, say that the regular rate 
from your station to St. Louis is $5.00, and your 
ticket limit and locality is under the schedule 
of one and one-third the regular fare for a sixty- 
day round-trip or return-trip ticket: 

This would make your fare to St. Louis and 
return $G.G6. Add to this the expense of your 
meals on the trip and ten cents per person for 
street car fare to your hotel, boarding house or 
rented room and return, plus 50c for baggage 
transfer, if you have a trunk, and you have the 
full cost of reaching your stopping place and 
returning home. 

We will throughout this "Handbook" figure 
the cost of a couple visiting the World's Fair 
and spending two weeks, as the same calcula- 
tion will adapt itself to the conditions of man 
and wife, two ladies or two gentlemen; remem-

bering, however, that we are counting costs of 
visiting and enjoying the educationalbenefits of 
the World's Fair, not the theaters, concert halls, 
nor saloons down town. Moreover, we are fig- 
uring what may be done by a person of limited 
means, not for the rich, for the moneyed man 
may spend as he pleases and go and stop where 
he will, for expense is no consideration to him 
and saving no object. 

Two* persons, therefore, from the distance 
named, say about two hundred miles, each with 
baggage and a meal on the road, can reach 
their stopping place at a total cost not to ex- 
ceed $1G.00, or $8.00 each, with return-trip tick- 
ets in their pockets. 

Another great convenience for the public, ar- 
ranged by the railroad companies and the Fair 
management, is the establishment of a Union 
Ticket Office in the Transportation Building, 
where tickets can be purchased or countersigned, 
thus avoiding the confusion and delay caused 
by having to go down town to do what you can 
attend to on the grounds the day you determine 
to go home. There was great confusion and 
delay caused at other Expositions by this omis- 
sion.

IT— 



iUbere to Stop 

This feature is probably more puzzling to the 
ordinary stranger visiting a big city than any 
other, and fraught with more fears of extrava- 
gant expense and exorbitant cost as well, for 
nothing is so mystifying and perplexing as a 
strange city to a strange man, and every fakir 
and fraud seems to be on the lookout to mislead 
or beat him — to do anything to relieve him of 
any spare change he may have, or deceive him 
in any way that will throw a dime or a dollar 
into his, the fakir's, pocket. 

But while the Administration has been busy 
urging reduced rates on the railroads, they have 
not been idle as to ways and means to provide 
for the accommodation and look out for the 
safety, entertainment and comfort of the stran- 
ger after he reaches St. Louis. 

As to his safety against the frauds practiced 
and perpetrated by fakirs and confidence men 
generally, who flock to such places during Ex- 
position seasons, the city government has great- 
ly increased its corps of detectives, taking men 
from every section of the United States to look 
especially after the "crooks" from their several 
sections, while the Police Board has increased 
its police force by an addition of five hundred 
men to serve during the World's Fair season of 
seven months, from May 1st to December 1st. 
In addition to this, the Jefferson Guards are a 
uniformed regiment of drilled men, ready, not 
only to protect the stranger, but to courteously 
answer all questions by visitors and to do every- 
thing to relieve embarrassment or annoyance 
from any source or cause — in other words, you 
will find in him a gentlemanly and intelligent 
guide.

As to the entertainment and comfort of the 
visitor to the Fair, it may well be said that notlr 
ing has been left undone to provide against the 
practice of extortion in rents or board, but, on 
the other hand, exorbitant extra charges for 
rooms, either in the residence portion of the 
city or at the regular boarding houses and ho- 
tels, and day board in private families or at 
regular hostelries and restaurants, have been 
so frowned upon and discountenanced by the Ad- 
ministration that the fact is even advertised 
that "no extra charges will be made during the 
Fair season" by many of those advertising 
"rooms for rent" or "rooms and board in private 
families." 

As we have said before, of course, if a person 
has plenty of money, the hotels, with their lux- 
urious comforts, are open to them, and they 
get all they want, and pay for it. 

But, we will assume that our two visitors are 
limited in means and want to stay two weeks 
in highly respectable quarters and at as small a 
cost as practicable, not to be pecunious or sting- 
ily close in the matter. 

What they will likely want will be a cool and 
comfortable room, with breakfast and supper, 
taking a lunch on the grounds at noon, and in 
a locality convenient to a street car line and 
accessible to the grounds in about a twenty or 
thirty minute ride or less, which will cost ten 
cents each day, going and returning, which 
would make that item for the two weeks about 
$1.50 for each person, or $3.00 for the couple 
for street car fares. 

Rooms in private families, at convenient dis- 
tances from the Fair Grounds, can be gotten at 
from four to five dollars per week, without 
board, and with breakfast and supper at not to

exceed eight dollars each per week, providing 
for the noon lunch to be eaten on the grounds. 
So that, practically, two persons in a room, can 
stay two weeks at a cost of $32.00; to this add 
firty cents each for lunch on the grounds, which 
will make the cost per week for each $3.50, or 
for the two for two weeks $14.00, or $4(3.00 for 
the couple. 

The cost, therefore, itemized is as follows: 
Railroad fare and return, $8 each. . .$16.00 

Street car fare, $1.50 each 3.00 

Room and board, two meals, $8 per 

week 32.00 

Lunch, 50c per day each 14.00 

Add to this $1.00 per day each for 
entrance fee and attractions on the 

"Pike" for 12 days 24.00 

Total $89.00 

Each $44.50 

Besides the many rooms for rent in that part 
of the city, within easy reach of the grounds, 
there will also be one large hotel inside of the 
grounds and a number of others immediately 
outside of the vast enclosure, where board can 
be gotten at almost any rate by the day, week or 
month, and at a cost regulated by the class of 
the accommodations and comforts demanded 
by the visitor, whose means will naturally reg- 
ulate him in the exactions of his wants and 
demands. 

No visitor, however, a stranger in the city, 
should go there during the Exposition season 
without making some arrangement in advance 
about a stopping place, whether at a hotel or 
at a private boarding house. 

By consulting the advertising columns of any 
of the St. Louis papers, especially the Sunday 
editions, a prospective visitor can find, under

umns" a list of those offering accommodations 
to Fair visitors, and by writing in advance, eith- 
er direct to the advertiser or to one of the com- 
panies organized in St. Louis for the purpose 
of securing and renting rooms, or to an ac- 
quaintance to secure a room or rooms for a week» 
two weeks or such time as you propose staying, 
you will avoid annoyance and trouble in finding 
"lodgings" and feel a safety about reaching 
your destination as if you were going to a pri- 
vate house. 

By all means, do not fail to secure your sleep- 
ing place in advance, or you may be forced to 
walk the streets all night. You can always find 
a place to eat, but not always a room in which 
to sleep. 

If, however, you should reach St. Louis with- 
out having secured a stopping place and want 
to find suitable lodgings, take a street car to 
the part of the city or suburbs you desire to lo- 
cate in and select quarters where terms and lo- 
cation suit you; houses which have accommoda- 
tions for visitors will display a World's Fair 
rooming-house flag on the premises. 

There is at the Union Station a "Bureau of 
Information," but that can only tell you "How" 
and "Where" and "What," but they can not go 
with a stranger and get him a room. There is 
also a "Bureau" in the station managed and 
presided over by ladies, whose especial care will 
be to look after young girls arriving there alone* 
and to protect them from the vicious and cor- 
rupt influences ready to be thrown around them, 
but they can not take care of all visitors. Their 
object and purpose is specific and most esti- 
mably worthy. We advise all young girls reach- 
ing there alone to go to them.

When you reach Union Station, if you are 
a stranger, you will encounter a puzzle right 
there, for it will be jammed at the incoming and 
outgoing of all trains and at all times. But 
keep your wits about you and get your infor- 
mation as to buses, carriages or street cars 
from a uniformed employe, policeman or porter, 
and NOT from a "crook" or fakir, who will be 
there ready to advise you m all matters, from 
finding a church to showing you to the veriest 
"drve" in town. They are princes of courtesy 
and attention, and will deceive you every time. 
Trust no man not uniformed is your safest 
rule. Tell him the street and number of the 
house you are going to, and he will direct you 
to the proper street car line. After you are on 
the car, the conductor will put you off at the 
nearest point. 

The above is in the way of warnings and 
hints, but some very smart people get badly 
fooled and beaten in big cities sometimes. An- 
other hint or warning to even the know-it-all 
man is regarding the carrying or displaying of 
money or jewelry at such places. Carry the 
principal part of your money, if you take much, 
in a money belt, taking out each morning about 
what you will need for the day. Don't wear a 
display of jewelry, for some "crook" may get it. 
Remember that you and every one else is a 
stranger in such crowds, and no one will know 
whether you have on jewelry or "old shoes." 
So leave the former at home, and take two pairs 
of the latter with you, and, without fail, change 
and alternate them every morning, and you will 
save yourself the purgatory of swollen and ach- 
ing feet — don't wait for your feet to hurt, but 
make the changes from the start, and you will 
enjoy the sights and no one will ever know 
whether you had on shoes or were unshod.

Row to See 



This question can be very easily answered by 
saying, look at the World's Fair, but how to 
see it so as to view it methodically, take in its 
wonders and beauties comprehensively and ab- 
sorb its educational advantages intelligently is 
what will be the aim of any suggestions that 
experience at such places may prompt us to 
make. 

To see an Exposition of such mammoth pro- 
portions and diversified multiformity as this 
methodically means, first, that unless your time 
and means are unlimited, you must so lay out 
the task before you as not to be walking over 
the same ground repeatedly and uselessly; sim- 
ply because a plan based on method was not 
followed at the start. To do so, then, it is very 
important for a visitor to understand the lay 
of the land, so to speak, for remember that 1,240 
acres of ground, covered with massive, tower- 
ing buildings, can not be looked over from any 
one point of view except a very elevated one, as 
an area of 1,240 acres means that if it is a 
mile wide it is nearly two miles long, or if it 
is anything like square in proportions, it is not 
far from a mile and a half each way. 

This, therefore, is the area that our two visit- 
ors have to cover carefully and closely, walk- 
ing over miles of asphalt walks and red clay 
roads on the grounds, and through miles and 
miles of aisles on the insides of the buildings. 
You see, then, that method in commencing and 
going through this task is of the greatest im- 
portance, both as to convenience and comfort 
and from a standpoint of economy, in seeing 
as much in two weeks as possible for the cost

of the trip, not to speak of its labor and dis- 
comforts. 

In the first place, you must arm yourself 
with a guide book and familiarize yourself with 
it; then take a trip, or even two trips, on the 
Intramural Road, so as to mentally encompass, 
through the eye, the location and appearance 
of the many buildings, drives, walks, lagoons, 
bridges, colonnades, cascades, facades and ex- 
hibits that go to make up the many features of 
this grand spectacular and educational exposi- 
tion of the life, skill and science and products, 
manufactures, industries, pursuits, games and 
recreations of nearly every people and country 
on the face of the earth, for it seems literally 
to be a world show, and no man can afford to 
miss it. After encircling the grounds on the 
Intramural Railroad, then take a trip on the 
Miniature Railway, a tally-ho or automobile, 
through the grounds, and then on one of the 
many gasoline or electric boats through the la- 
goons; and then look at it from the Ferris 
Wheel, thus becoming in a degree familiar with 
the grounds and buildings from overhead, on 
land and on water. You will now find your 
guide book very much more intelligently useful 
to you and save much of your valuable time 
in looking for buildings and exhibits. 

In using your guide book, we would suggest 
that as you visit a building that you check off, 
with your pencil, such exhibits as you have 
seen or passed, and when through the building- 
check its whole page off. In this way you will 
not be repeating your steps and wasting time. 

When you enter the grounds the next day, 
don't walk and wander around, or stand and 
gaze for hours at things you have seen before, 
but go direct to the place you last checked off

of seeing all of this valuable exhibition of the 
world's progress that you can in your limited 
time. Tliis same system of checking can be 
followed in seeing concessions and attractions 
on the 'Tike," for there will certainly be very 
many attractive and instructive displays and 
recreative amusements to be seen there, which 
we will list, so far as we are able in the limit-

buildings, a list of which follows this article.

(Ubat to See 



See everything that you can — it's a matter of 
education, through the eyes and ears, to be 
stored away on the graphophone memory plates 
of the brain, and our advice is to store away all 
that you possibly can. You cannot afford to 
miss nor disregard a $50,000 ? 000 show. 

We will undertake to give a list of the Cyclo- 
pean, gigantic main buildings, with as near the 
exact dimensions or areas of the most import- 
ant, as we can, so that a visitor will know 
when he enters how many acres are under cover 
and what he has to walk over. 

The Administration Building is leased from 
Washington University, and is of Missouri pink 
granite, in Tudor Gothic style, and 325 feet by 
118 feet in size, with four octagon corner towers 
90 feet high and minor towers 77 feet in height. 
It cost about $250,000. 
Educational Building — 

This structure embraces 210,000 square feet, 
or about five acres, and cost about $350,000. 

In it will be seen specimens of writing, draw- 
ings, maps, calculations of problems, essays, 
compositions, and every other feature of the 
work that goes to make up a modern, well-con- 
ducted school, from the kindergarten to the col- 
lege, or from the log-cabin district school to the 
university; for the deaf, the dumb and the blind, 
as well as for those blessed with all the senses 
that man is lieir to. It will not only show 
specimens but processes, such as laboratories in 
operation, domestic science and manual train- 
ing schools and reformatories; in fact, every- 
thing to show the spirit of the up-to-date school

room, from the "live exhibit" to the still and 
silent problem on the blackboard. 
Palace of Fine Arts — 

This comprises three separate buildings, with 
a total frontage of nearly 900 feet, the main 
building being about (300 feet by 300 feet, and 
each of the wings about 800 feet by 200 feet 
and covering about seven acres of ground. It 
will embrace collections of the finest pictures, 
works of art by the old masters, not only from 
this country, but from nearly every foreign 
country on the face of the globe. It has a de- 
partment especially allotted to borrowed pic- 
tures; collections made for ages by universi- 
ties, colleges and art galleries, and by profes- 
sional and amateur lovers of pictures, who were 
able to buy and preserve them. Twenty foreign 
countries have contributed to this exhibit, and 
two pavilions have been set apart for them. 
Liberal Arts Building — 

This building is practically 750 feet by 525 
feet, approximating 14 acres under cover, and 
cost $400,000. 

The processes and products of the liberal arts 
and sciences of the United States and many of 
the principal foreign countries will be found 
operating or exhibited in this building. The 
list of what comes under this classification is 
too numerous to enumerate, but look for such 
features as relief maps and specimens of typog- 
raphy; photography as it was, and as it is to- 
day, with famous historic photographs; books 
and parchments, printing and bookbinding, from 
the time of Gutenberg to the present; demon- 
strations and illustrations of the chemical ele- 
ments and their processes, products and results; 
radium, liquid air, etc.; everything tending to 
make up the group of graphic arts; everything

in the line of progress of type, from type-easting 
to the type-setter or typewriter; progress in 
medicine and surgery, as shown by appliances, 
etc. 

Festival Organ, the largest in the world, will 
be shown and played in this building; its long- 
est pipe is thirty-two feet and large enough for 
a small pony to walk through. A train of cars 
was needed to transport this monster from Los 
Angeles, California. 
Palace of Manufactures — 

This includes both the Manufactures and Va- 
ried Industries Buildings, and covers about 
twenty-eight acres, laid out in streets like a 
city, the aisles and streets being named or num- 
bered. It embraces the exhibits of the world, 
both manufactured and in process of manufact- 
uring. It is an education in industry and 
achievement, process and result, and is alone 
worth a trip to the World's Fair. 

It is over four times as large as the same 
feature at Paris. You can see manufactured 
or exhibited everything, from a handkerchief 
to a costly and elaborate costume or from a 
needle to a plowshare. 

It must be seen to be appreciated. 
Palace of Machinery — 

This building is 1,000 feet by 525 feet, and 
cost nearly $500,000. 

The value of the exhibits in this building 
alone is placed at $8,000,000. In it is the power 
plant of the entire moving feature of the Ex- 
position, running among other things, the 
pumps which move 105,000,000 gallons of water 
per day to make that magnificent picture of the 
Cascades. In fact, everything in the way of 
moving or stationary machinery that the imag- 
ination can conceive or that the mind can com-

prehend will be seen there, and the value of 
such an education to the practical, pushing and 
progressive man of today is invaluable. 
Palace of Electricity — 

This building is 600 feet by 525 feet, and cost 
over $300,000. 

In it will be found every electric invention or 
device, from wireless telegraphy to trolley cars, 
and suggesting everything from mystery to en- 
ergy or life — from mum to motion and sound, 
and the result of the genius of every nation of 
the world. In it you will see electricity bridled 
to the use of man, furnishing him light, heat, 
motion and sound; in the arc light, the cook 
stove, the motor, and sound through music, the 
Festival Organ being pumped by two ten-horse 
power electric motors. It will be a palace of 
wonders, wafted on wireless wings. 
Transportation Building — 

This is the largest building in the main pic- 
ture, being 1,300 feet by 525 feet and covering 
about fourteen acres. 

In it will be seen everything in the way of 
conveyance or transport that moves on earth or 
on sea, on wheels or on rails, or by propeller or 
by screw — that is, propelled, pulled or pushed. 

That tells it all — go and see. 
Palace of Agriculture — 

This is the largest building and exhibit at 
the Exposition, being on ''Agricultural Hill," 
beyond the "Main Picture." It includes both 
agricultural and horticultural products and 
plants. 

It embraces combined, twenty-six acres under 
roof, and over seventy acres outside, devoted 
to the science of husbandry in its various feat- 
ures. In it will be arranged, harmoniously and 
artistically, everythiu^ from a seed or a bulb

to its matured result, small or great. The pe- 
riod and method of cultivation will also be 
shown in many instances. In its exhibit is in- 
cluded also the products of the cow, butter and 
cheese, and food and food products. 

In the six acres devoted to horticulture will 
be found fruit exhibits and horticultural ma- 
chinery and implements of all kinds, while flor- 
iculture is not neglected. On one side extends 
a mammoth conservatory devoted to growing 
plants, and on the other a like pavilion devoted 
to cut flowers and floral designs and imple- 
ments. On the outside will be found ten acres 
devoted alone to roses. 

Forestry, Fish and Game Building — 

The forestry exhibit shows everything, from 
how to grow and preserve forest trees to its va- 
rious products; from the woodenware used in 
the kitchen to the book on the center table, 
made from wood pulp, the product of the for- 
est; and from the toothpick to the palatial man- 
sion, made alike from Nature's gift through the 
forest growth. 

There is a fish exhibit by the Louisiana Pur- 
chase Exposition, but there is also a mammoth 
fish exhibit under the control of the United 
States Government. The former is under the 
control of Dr. Tarleton H. Bean, and the latter 
under .the management of Mr. William de C. 
Ravenel of Washington, D. C. 

They will both be very fine and intensely in- 
teresting, and between tnem the visitor will be 
shown everything that swims that can possibly 
be placed in an aquarium and must be seen to 
be comprehended — no description will answer. 
And the same may be said of the game and 
bird exhibits.

Palace of Mines and Metallurgy — 

In this building one will be able to see the 
actual operations of the mines, the smelters, 
etc., as well as the product, both crude and 
manufactured, of every class of mining indus- 
try. 
Hall of Anthropology — 

There is a special building devoted to this 
scientific exhibit. In it the visitor learns every- 
thing appertaining to the doctrine of the struct- 
ure of man and his natural history. In other 
words, the science of man, considered from his 
entire nature, from body to soul, as well as sex, 
temperament, race, civilization — his works and 
energy in one harmonious whole, including eth- 
nology, archaeology, history, anthropometry and 
psychometry. Go and learn, your body and 
brain, anatomy and mind. 
Social Economy — 

This exhibit will be found in the south corri- 
dor of the Educational Building, and includes, 
first, social economy, proper; second, charities 
and corrections; third, hygiene and public 
health, and fourth, municipal improvement. 

This, too, is largely participated in by foreign 
countries, and is an education in all the sub- 
jects so vital to man's welfare. 
Physicai Culture Building — 

This is a permanent building, and it is in- 
tended in it to teach the youth of our land phys- 
ical culture and training, the physiology of ex- 
ercise, gymnastic therapeutics, school hygiene, 
the adaptation of physical exercise to the mod- 
ern conditions of life, the influence of manly 
sports, the moral phases of athletics, the neces- 
sity of outdoor play for city children, etc. 

The importance and educational lessons of 
this department are too self-evident to need com- 
ment.

On m Pike 



''The Pike" of the St. Louis World's Fair is 
synonymous with "The Midway" of the Chicago, 
Buffalo, Charleston and' other recent Exposi- 
tions, but on a much more elaborate scale than 
any heretofore seen. 

We are glad, too, to state that the manage- 
ment of the World's Fair has been as careful in 
regard to this feature of the Exposition as it 
has been in others. From all that we can learn, 
this aggregation of attractions, amusements 
and diversions has been so closely watched and 
examined into, and the applications for conces- 
sions have been so carefully censored that no 
unclean nor indecent entertainment, exhibit nor 
show has been allowed to obtain space there. Tt 
is true that it is the "Midway" of the World's 
Fair, but it is, thanks to a careful management, 
a "Midway" cleansed and purified of its objec- 
tionable, coarse features, which so permeated 
and infested others as to border very closely oh 
the lewd and obscene. 

Consequently there are many features of "The 
Pike," and its surroundings that are well worth 
the time and money that it takes to see them, 
not only from a standpoint of sight-seeing of 
rare scenes, amusements and freaks of nature, 
but as a diversion and recreation from the labor 
and burden attendant upon seeing so mammoth 
a show as this, and we advise our two visitors to 
take it in.
